Re: The Rise of the Trump Reich

1938 - 1930 — Germany invades Czechoslovakia under orders from Hitler, ostensibly to 1) unite ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia with their homeland (using false claims of mistreatment ass a pretext), and 2) acquire its valuable industrial resources and strategic territory (the Sudetenland). September...

Re: The Rise of the Trump Reich

I listened to a few minutes of his press conference this morning - I couldn't stand more than a few minutes and turned it off. He was talking about the Monroe Doctrine as if he had just heard of it (and he probably had - although his fifth grade teacher probably told him about it, little Donny wasn...

The Rise of the Trump Reich

I took it upon myself to move the comments following Trump's assault on Venezuela from the "There's Always a Tweet" thread to here so as not to be accused of diluting that thread. And meanwhile he sends US troops into a FOREIGN, SOVEREIGN nation and kidnaps the president of said country. — or, to qu...

Re: A man who made a real positive difference in the world

Just curious — on some older cars, like mid-sixties Chevys and my old '69 Plymouth Fury, the filler was in the back hidden underneath the license plate.   Do any modern vehicles still have the cap located in that area, and if so, would the arrow be positioned under the pump icon and pointing downwar...

Re: Trump's New Battleship....

Ukraine Sees the Future of Naval Warfare. Trump Doesn’t. The balance of power is shifting toward cheap drones and away from expensive ships. Worth a read. Back in 1907, Teddy Roosevelt sent The Great White Fleet, a group of sixteen US Navy battleships, on a two-year circumnavigation of the globe to...

Open mouth, insert foot, and chew vigorously.   From Trump's posting on ''Half-Truth Social' — ... And then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. Of course, this means that he DOES admit to kno...

Re: Trump's New Battleship....

It would never be the USS Trump unless 1) it included a golf course 2) all the brasswork was replaced with gold fittings 3) the final cost was at least three times the original estimates...   but that wouldn't be a problem, as Trump would immediately declare that he'd be making either the Russians o...

Re: Will there be lions?

I don't think he's thought this through. (No surprise there.). Every state sends a boy and a girl. (What about DC? And Guam??). California has 11.8% of the US population. I suspect that simple arithmetic suggests that CA will come top of the medals table. Blue states will probably do better than re...

The Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

It wasn't enough that D. J. "Dishonest John" Trump removed and replaced the board of directors of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February of this year, replacing them with a hand-picked list of sycophants and designating himself as the chairman — no, when it came time for the Kennedy ...

Re: Top 10 Movies

Thinking of BSG's choice of It's a Wonderful Life, I may have watched that more times than I have Butch Cassidy, though it's close. That's one of those films that has a specific place in the year as does "A Christmas Story". I might watch both in the next two weeks. I'm going to be taking in a perf...
